WASHINGTON - Measure, the leader in enterprise drone services, launches its next generation drone software platform, Ground Control 2.0. In the past year, over 200 companies around the world have leveraged the platform as new features and functions have been added. Today, it is available to the public after upgrading current Ground Control users in January.

"We are in a pivotal time in the drone industry, as companies are scaling their operations and seeking a compliant solution backed by a company with an incredible amount of real-world experience unmatched in the industry," says Measure CEO, Brandon Torres Declet. "We are excited to continue to serve clients with a powerful drone program management tool that we intend on continuously improving as regulations and technology advance."

Measure Ground Control 1.0 was launched last year with an easy-to-use flight application developed specifically for commercial use and a cloud-based web portal where managers could check airspace and view flight logs and data screen shots automatically uploaded from drone missions.

Measure Ground Control 2.0 adds powerful program management capabilities and new flight application features designed to provide ROI to corporate drone programs. With Ground Control 2.0, enterprises can:

Manage People & Equipment by:

AES (www.aes.com), one of the largest energy companies in the world has already been using Ground Control as it scales its own enterprise drone program in 13 countries worldwide.

"We see great value in Ground Control's worldwide flight management, starting with in-flight safety risk notifications and mapping of restrictive areas," notes Evaristo Leonardi, VP Global Operations Support at AES. "Our pilots enjoy its ease of use and our operators appreciate the automatic uploads of imagery which they use to extract valuable insights to improve our operations and safety."

"We believe Ground Control is a crucial tool for building drone operations to scale," says Jesse Stepler, Chief Strategy Officer at Measure.
